With everything maxed out my 980ti at 1440p struggles in the benchmark and so ive just ordered another for SLI, yes i could have waited for the new cards but i live in the now, not the whats around the corner lol.

Have to say im liking this game a lot now ive had a chance to get used to how it works. Expanding out quickly is very important.

Telecaster · 23 Mar 2016 at 23:40

I had a few games of it but it seems to get really repetitive and boring really quickly, it's all a bit samey. Plus the AI expands waaaaaay too quick for my liking.

I see where your coming from with the repetitive comment but at the minute i like it. The AI gets more bonuses the harder AI you pick (your no doubt aware of this) and there is a learning curve on expanding out quickly.
Also if you have (is it defenders?) on around nodes its important to send your first engineer to a node and take control of one straight away before the defenders spawn in.
This gives you a head start on materials and helps with making a factory and units to go and take more nodes.

Just discovered this - what are your thoughts people? Worth the money ? I loved supreme commander/ TA, but looking at game play vids im unsure? I want it, but worth the money ?

ninja2000 · 18 Apr 2016 at 21:10

IT is pretty good but still no supreme commander. Hoping it will still improve but so far spam out units and blob them at the enemy. Supreme commander was released years ago but there is still nothing like the formations, nukes, TML snipes, bomber rushes...ah the memories

It's the closest thing you'll get to supcom these days. I like it. MP seems a bit dead though.

I like this game and play skirmish a lot, im pretty pants but i enjoy it.

DX 12 max settings seems to kill my 980 ti sli at times for sure.

Also i have found that when you load the game up with mgpu ticked and in dx12 mode, the first time the game loads to the main menu takes a while and if i then play a game it stutters.
However if once the game loads to the menu i quit straight away and then load the game up again, it takes about 3 seconds to load and the stutters are no longer present

Thanks for the heads up not seen that before. New unit and abilities sounds interesting, plus new DLC being worked on.

Been Looking at buying this game from the steam sale

But this thread seems pretty dead, is that because this game is not very good ? :confused:

I would not say that its ok in single player its a lot better now with lastest patch but it can be a tough game even on normal it really has good ai.
Muiltplayer I havn't got a clue

Another game you can get if ur looking for a rts is grey goo I enjoyed that too.

chroniclard · 3 Jul 2016 at 08:11

Its ok, AI can be brutal. Worth a go if you like RTS and its cheap.

NoobCannon · 3 Jul 2016 at 08:39

Can't get multi gpu to work. The option is in selectable in dx11 and when I select it in dx12 and start the benchmark for example the game instantly crashes.

Anyone else having these problems?

FloppyPoppy · 10 Jul 2016 at 14:48

Strange situation happening for me. Seems once im above around about 8000 units the game goes from super smooth to insta lagging like hell. Anyone else getting this?

Have you checked to see if it filled up all the GPU Vram or DDR system ram when it does this ?

Can't seem to get any OSD to work with AOTS so can't really monitor it.

FloppyPoppy · 10 Jul 2016 at 15:15

So Using various tools i have found that the cpu is sitting around 70-85% load during this frame issue and is having no throttling or thermal issues, my VRam is not capped it's at 4/8gb my ram is sitting around 16gb out of 32gb and my gpu core is at 100% but this still occurs if i lower all gpu settings down and bring it below 100% I go from 40-60fps to about 4 for no apparent reason.
